Nature connects us. Stories bring that connection to life.

Rethink Outside helps funders and partners share a more powerful story about how nature and time outside strengthens our communities.

We develop, test, and share narrative frameworks and stories that bring new partners to the table and grow the movement for equitable access to the outdoors.
